He was fascinated by the unusual, the gothic, the sexual, and the melodramatic.\n\nIn this graphic novel, acclaimed cartoonist J. Webster Sharp shares some of the most bizarre stories from his archives in silent comics form. With often shocking, visceral black and white artwork, the strangeness and eccentricity of the Edwardian era provides a backdrop for Sharp's own struggles with mental health.\n\nThe Scrapbook of Life and Death is a fascinating, personal window into forgotten historical views of eccentric and socially transcendent and disturbing behaviours―and their resonance in life today.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1910395846\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1910395846.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Webster Sharp, J\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
